Kaitlyn can swim so well and then turn around and spend time teaching me to blow bubbles and float on my back. She is wonderful!”

Kaitlyn regularly gets requested by incoming clients who have been referred to our program by current clients.

Kaitlyn will be leaving us in May, after graduation. She will be a VERY hard team member to replace. She is wonderful with so many aspects of our department and truly has a passion for sharing aquatics with others.
